I have to admit, I had no idea what to expect before I started this diet. I had heard and read all the horror stories where people were deprived of food and then went crazy like a Charles Manson follower when they did not lose the weight that they had expected. I half wondered whether I would end up like Jack Nicholson in the Shining tearing through locked doors in search of an Oreo cookie or something.

Instead, I find myself more intrigued in what this diet is actually doing. I feel as though I am just along for the ride. All I have to do is eat five small portion-controlled meals consisting of some sort of powder mixed with water then nuked until a chemical reaction occurs. In exchange for that weight falls off of me from some unknown place.
